Best Graphic Novels by Famous Prose Authors

Prose-to-graphic-novel adaptations are the new hot trend in publishing.
Find out why-with graphic novels by fiction writers you already love.

The Amazing Adventures of the Escapist
Based on the superhero from Michael Chabon's novel The Amazing Adventures
of Kavalier & Clay, this three-volume series recalls the heroes
of golden age comics and chronicles a mysterious, heroic magician's
crime-fighting.

Karasik, Paul
City of Glass
It makes sense that this adaptation of one of fiction's most compelling
authors would result in a graphic novel counted among the format's best
works. City of Glass adapts the first novel of Paul Auster's
metafictional New York Trilogy detective novels.

King, Stephen
The Dark Tower. The Gunslinger Born
This first volume in the adaptation of King's The Dark Tower
prose series was one of the most popular graphic novels of 2008. See
how his magnum opus blend of Middle Earth and Clint Eastwood fares in
its new format.
